Thanks to everyone who turned out for the Popham Mega Meet. Ten Douglases spanning the years from the early ’30s to the late ’50s made an impressive display, and included a rare model D33. Always great to see unusual machines out on the road, where they belong.
One of my favourite events of the vintage and classic year, the VMCC’s Taverners Section’s rally, takes place on the 21st of July. The venue is Stanford Hall, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire, as usual.
The London Douglas MCC will have our usual stand there, so please come along, have a chat and admire the machines!
Apart from being a good day out, the Founder’s Day rally also features an excellent auto-jumble – I invariably come home with more ‘stuff’ I didn’t know I needed! Fingers crossed for the weather …
The historic Goodwood racing circuit is the venue for the Douglas Club’s Surrey/Hants Section’s next social meeting, on Sunday June 9th. Meeting time is 12 noon as usual and, if your Douglas is equipped with a satnav, the postcode is PO18 0PX! Head for the Aerodrome club cafe – with views over the circuit.
Obviously, as it is June, the sun will be shining (!)
Sunday 12th May is the diary date for a social meeting at the Royal Armouries in Fareham, PO17 6AN. Bike parking, the cafe and the Armouries are all free of charge, so it’s a good opportunity to fire up the Douglas* and enjoy some Spring sunshine. Meeting time is 12.00 and we look forward to seeing you there.
*Other machines are also welcome!
Surrey and Hants Section members will be dusting off the cobwebs and firing up the flat twins for the first social meet of the season, on the 14th of April. Meeting time is 12 o’clock at the museum car park at Bashley Cross Road, New Milton BH25 5SZ. Everyone welcome.
